Suspicious package that led to Dunedin evacuations turns out to be medicine

DUNEDIN — A suspicious package that landed on a Dunedin woman's doorstep and prompted evacuations Wednesday turned out to be a box of medications, authorities said.

Debra Osmun, 52, called Pinellas County sheriff's deputies to her home at 2229 Lakewood Drive about 3 p.m. Wednesday after finding the package, which apparently was shipped from Bulgaria and contained no postage.

Deputies evacuated two neighboring homes and closed Lakewood Drive between Dogwood and Pinewood drives. A bomb squad from Hillsborough County also responded.

They determined the package wasn't explosive or a threat, and just had medications inside.

There is a reason why the air in Tampa Bay is filled with playoff talk. If Thursday night's 12-8 Bucs preseason win over the Jaguars is any indication, it's also going to be filled with footballs thrown by quarterback Jameis Winston.
